Hydration process is the chemical reaction between cement and water which results in the hardening of concrete.
Hydration process starts as soon as water is added to cement.
The reaction produces heat and causes the mixture to harden and gain strength.
The process continues for weeks and even months, resulting in a stronger and more durable concrete.
The amount of water used in the mixture affects the hydration process and...
Concrete strength depends on various factors.
Water-cement ratio
Type and quality of cement
Aggregate size and shape
Curing conditions
Mix design
Age of concrete
Temperature and humidity
Presence of admixtures
Water is added to concrete mixer to make the mixture more workable and to achieve the desired consistency.
Water is added to hydrate the cement and activate the chemical reaction that causes it to harden
The amount of water added affects the strength and durability of the concrete
Too much water can weaken the concrete and cause cracking
The water should be added gradually and mixed thoroughly to ensure even distribution

I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Sep 2024. There was 1 interview round.
The weight of steel bars can be calculated by multiplying the volume of the steel bar by its density.
Calculate the volume of the steel bar by using the formula: Volume = (π * (Diameter)^2 * Length) / 4
Determine the density of the specific type of steel being used
Multiply the volume by the density to get the weight of the steel bar
Workability refers to the ease and ability of a material to be worked with and manipulated during construction.
Workability is important in construction as it affects the ease of placing, compacting, and finishing concrete or other materials.
Factors affecting workability include water content, aggregate size and shape, temperature, and admixtures.
For example, a concrete mix with high workability will flow easily into fo...
Bar bending schedule is a document detailing the shape, quantity, length, and bending dimensions of steel bars used in construction.
It is prepared by civil engineers to ensure proper placement and bending of reinforcement bars in concrete structures.
Includes details such as bar mark, diameter, number of bars, length, shape codes, and bending dimensions.
Helps in estimating the quantity of steel required for construction...
The density of steel bars is approximately 7850 kg/m^3.
The density of steel bars is typically around 7850 kg/m^3.
Density can vary slightly depending on the specific type of steel used.
Density is a measure of mass per unit volume.
The mix ratio of grade M20 concrete is 1:1.5:3 (cement:sand:aggregate).
Grade M20 concrete has a mix ratio of 1:1.5:3 (cement:sand:aggregate).
This means for every 1 part of cement, 1.5 parts of sand and 3 parts of aggregate are used.
For example, for a 1 cubic meter of M20 concrete, 0.5 cubic meters of sand and 1.5 cubic meters of aggregate are used.

Lap length and development length for hoop, grade of concrete, and HDPE pipe are specified in code.
Lap length for hoop reinforcement is specified in IS 456:2000 and varies based on the diameter of the bar and the grade of concrete.
Development length is the length of the bar required to transfer the stress from the bar to the surrounding concrete and is also specified in IS 456:2000.
The grade of concrete determines the ...
I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in May 2020. There were 3 interview rounds.
We use grade 40 concrete for our site construction.
Grade 40 concrete is commonly used for structural applications in construction.
It has a compressive strength of 40 megapascals (MPa) after 28 days of curing.
Grade 40 concrete is suitable for various construction projects such as buildings, bridges, and pavements.
Cover is provided to structures for protection against environmental factors and to increase their lifespan.
Protects against rain, snow, wind, and sunlight
Prevents corrosion and deterioration of materials
Increases lifespan of the structure
Improves aesthetics of the structure
Examples: roofs, walls, paint coatings
Acceptance criteria for compressive strength in civil engineering
Compressive strength is the ability of a material to withstand compressive loads
Acceptance criteria for compressive strength is determined by the design specifications and standards
The compressive strength of concrete is typically measured in pounds per square inch (psi)
The acceptance criteria for compressive strength of concrete varies depending on the t
Reinforcement can be checked by visual inspection, measuring diameter, spacing, and cover, and using non-destructive testing methods.
Visual inspection for any visible damage or corrosion
Measuring diameter of reinforcement bars using a caliper or micrometer
Measuring spacing between reinforcement bars using a tape measure
Measuring cover using a cover meter
Using non-destructive testing methods such as ultrasonic testing o
I will investigate the cause of failure and take necessary actions.
I will check if the cubes were properly cured and stored before testing.
I will verify if the testing machine was calibrated and operated correctly.
If the failure is due to poor quality of materials, I will reject the lot and order new ones.
If the failure is due to improper construction practices, I will instruct the workers to rectify the issue.
I will d...
In the previous project, we used structural steel for the construction of the building.
Structural steel was used for its high strength and durability.
It was used in the construction of beams, columns, and other load-bearing elements.
The specific type of steel used may vary depending on the project requirements and design specifications.
Examples of commonly used structural steels include ASTM A36, ASTM A572, and ASTM A9
